Beautiful week+ in Southern California
 |
| Many of the streets were named after movie stars |
 |
| Palm Springs was the area all the old Movie Stars would come to vacation, not so much now. |
 |
| Beautiful scenes |
 |
| You gotta know its a classy area when they're sellin '57 Chevy trucks in the used car lots |
 |
| House on the hill |
 |
| We knew we were in a Ritzy area when we saw the Bentley dealer |
 |
| I had never seen one of these before, I had to take a double take... |
 |
| They have a strange way of washing cars down here |
 |
| We've seen a few balloons in CA |
 |
| It was a Maserati, sweet. |
 |
| Palms Springs does have Palms |
 |
| and a lot of fountains... |
 |
| Now this BUG looked like a mouse |
 |
| Pretty red Azaleas @ this time of year? |
 |
| Palm Springs / Desert Hot Springs |
 |
| On our way back to Joshua Tree National Park, we passed through a huge Wind farm. |
 |
| Back in Joshua Tree.. |
 |
| More rock hills |
 |
| And more strange rock formations |
 |
| It was warmer this time so we hiked through some of these ares.. |
 |
| A Joshua tree with no bark/leaves |
 |
| A rock climber was trying to make it to the top |
 |
| Snickers enjoyed the walks too. |
 |
| You could see for miles from here |
 |
| That way to the beach.. |
 |
| A view of San Jacinta mountain, the highest in southern California |
 |
| The center of this picture is the San Andreas Faults |
 |
| This was taken from the highest point in Joshua Tree Park, the mountain in the distance is 35 miles away. |
|
 |
| Snickers was wiped out and slept all the way home. |
 |
| The wind farm was still working when we passed it on the way back |
 |
| Most were triple bladed |
 |
| Some were double bladed |
 |
| A different meaning for BFF lol |
 |
| Sun setting on our campground |
 |
| See the moon and bright stars, oh well they are hard to capture in a picture |
 |
| Entering Anzo-Borrega Dese |
 |
| This desert looked pretty dry |
 |
| Though some plants are actually blooming |
 |
| More Wide Open Spaces |
 |
| Here are RV'ers just pulling off the road and camping in the desert |
 |
| Snickers has to stay well hydrated in the desert too |
 |
| Kevin, can you find the lizard? |
 |
| We left the desert and headed west to a tiny town in the hills known for their Apple Pies |
 |
| Julian, CA |
 |
| They had a strange way of serving coffee |
 |
| This is Mom's, where they sold Apple Pies |
 |
| This is Jack's where they sold groceries |
 |
| Which way to go? |
 |
| They had some interesting stores |
 |
| Interesting railings, I don't think they meet building code |
 |
| The town did have a two cell jail |
 |
| Pretty tight quarters |
 |
| though The Warden had a nice truck |
 |
| Pam loved the zig-zag roads on the edge of the mountain |
 |
| We found a Mountain that was named after Brittany |
 |
| Snickers liked the ride too... |
 |
| especially when his ears were pinned back |
 |
| Another Border Patrol check point, once again alittle too close to border for Pam |
 |
| A view of Sultan Sea from the west. |
 |
| Sun setting on a beautiful day w/the moon making a smiley face |
 |
| Of course we had to try the local fare.. |
 |
| and it was Delicious |
 |
| Snickers was wiped out. |
